Resident urges Sullivan County to create task force to separate county-owned adult care center from contractor InfiniteCare

During the public comment period of the Sullivan County Legislature meeting, an unnamed resident urged legislators to form a task force to design a strategic plan to separate the county-owned adult care center (ACC) from contractor InfiniteCare.

"This latest survey is another nail in the coffin of InfiniteCare's CON application as it constitutes a new violation," the resident said, offering to share the survey with legislators. The speaker said two years remain on the county's contract with InfiniteCare and urged the legislature to take "positive action now by creating a task force to design a strategic plan for the separation of the ACC from InfiniteCare instead of continuing on with the status quo until the contract expires." The commenter added concerns about management-level hires, saying county posted qualifications were not being honored by the contractor.

The resident also said disentangling the contractor's role would be difficult but argued that "a group of dedicated people who can take the process apart step by step" could succeed.

No formal response or motion to create a task force appears in the meeting record; the matter was raised during public comment only. The transcript records the citizen's allegations and recommendations but does not include a county staff or legislator commitment to start the requested task force at that meeting.

The transcript also records earlier public remarks about acronyms and resolution drafting (see separate actions in the meeting minutes), but the specific request to form a task force on ACC governance remained a public-comment appeal rather than a formal legislative action at this session.
